Lost Lovers Ball

A Collaboration with Secret Productions - we created the narrative for their Valentines soirees - The Lost Lovers Ball at Battersea Power Station.

Journeying into the mind of Eros,

we led the 1500 arrivals each night into the building with Tragic Film Noir Love tales - filmic, iconic and brooding. We then thrust them into the extraordinary, and usually inaccessible to the public, 1940s control room.Each visitor becoming a member of a secret organisation - The Trust; a resistance army advocating love and togetherness fighting the forces of insecurity.

20 Gideon Reeling performers made up our cast, with further content in the event created and delivered by the Invisible Circus, Bearded Kitten and Tax Deductible.

I knew what lay ahead could be dark and I knew I would be here for some time. But if I got out unscathed, if I made it home sometime…later? Tomorrow? Next week? Well…I knew I’d 'a learned something. I knew I’d 'a gained something and sure, I’d know a little more about this great big crazy mess. But at what price? Hey I’d invested a whole heap of cash in this thing already and I wasn’t gonna back out now. But there was something fishy about this whole business. Was it the river I could hear? Yeah it was fishy."
